Hello, all:
Looking for recommedations for a color ASCII terminal for my
computer lab. I know about the B&W/green vintage ones (ADM, Hazeltine, etc.)
but I'm not too familiar with color terminals. Are there any that look
reasonably "vintage" or is that a pipe dream?

For a more vintage look, one can start with a VT125 and use an
external color monitor (the VT125 looks just llke a VT100, down to the
mono tube, but it has 4? BNCs for an external, simultaneous display.
Dunno what might be older than a VT125 that happens to have color.
The VT240 (VT240 + VR2410 is probably more attainable. I think they
made a lot more of them. It's "vintage" if you are trying to aim for
the 1980s.

Intecolor made nice color ASCII terminals. They made the original
CompuColor computer by putting a Z80 system in their color terminal.
Good for the 70's look if you can find one.
The Intecolor 125 is a nice Color ASCII terminal. from the mid 1980s.
I liked the design.
Wyse had the 350 / 370 series of color terminals concurrent with the
Wyse 50 series of B&W terminals from the late 1980s.
Tektronix had the 4105, 4106, 4107 Color terminals that had full
support for ASCII.
(PS Not sure I got the spelling on intecolor right?)
